KEF CI200.2CR 8 Inch Slim Bezel Round In-Ceiling Single Speaker

The KEF CI200.2CR is an 8-inch slim-bezel in-ceiling speaker that delivers wide, natural sound with shallow-depth installation for space-conscious architectural audio projects.

Built for buyers who want strong in-ceiling performance without a deep mounting requirement, the KEF CI200.2CR combines an 8-inch Uni-Q driver array with a shallow 4-inch mounting depth and a clean, low-profile finish. It is designed to provide broad, even sound coverage for music, TV audio, and whole-home listening while fitting more easily into ceilings or walls where installation depth is limited. With weather-resistant construction, it is also a smart option for kitchens, bathrooms, and other demanding interior spaces.

Quick guidance

The CI200.2CR is a smart choice if you want a larger KEF in-ceiling speaker with wide coverage but need a shallower installation profile than many full-size models. It is sold individually, so for stereo or multi-room audio you will usually want two or more. If you want help planning the right quantity or matching amplifier, contact us.

1. Is this one speaker or a pair?
   This is a single speaker. For stereo in one room, you’ll typically order two.
   
2. Will it work with my AV receiver or multi-room amp?
   Yes. It’s a passive in-ceiling speaker and works with most receivers and multi-room amps. Match amp power to the room size and how loud you listen.
   
3. What should I confirm before cutting the ceiling?
   Check the cutout size, mounting depth, and joist clearance. Also confirm there’s no plumbing, wiring, or ductwork in that ceiling bay.
